Zombie Driver received average reviews upon release. Critics noted the game for its repetitiveness, untapped potential, and length. "Good fun until the novelty wears off. Which doesn't take that long, sadly." reviewed Total PC Gaming.[1] The game has a Metacritic score of 60 and a user score of 6.2.
Zombie Driver HD received similar middling reviews upon its release for the first time on consoles. Gamingnexus compared the gameplay to a "cross between Grand Theft Auto 2 and Choplifter." and praised it for its cheap price point.[2] The game has a Metacritic score of 62 and a user score of 5.1 on the Xbox 360 platform. The steam version holds a 'very positive' user rating from over 2,514 reviews.
Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition reviewed well on its Nintendo Switch release in 2019. Switch Player commended the game for its longevity; "this petrol-fueled indie hit has aged extremely well, delivering a healthy mix of speed, blood and apocalyptic destruction." and favorably calling it a "tour de force of vehicular undead destruction." Even in its most uptodate form the game is still criticized for its repetitive nature, Cogconnected notes "Zombie Driver is bad. In almost every conceivable way."[3]
